IOGKF Newsletter

August 2012

Editors Announcement

Firstly I want to thank
everyone for their overwhelming support of for the work being
done on the newsletter that I received at the World Budosai last
month. I was so happy to speak with many members from around the
world and I have a great list of suggestions to help improve and
strengthen the newsletter further. I will be discussing all of
these with my team and we will slowly be implementing them in
the next few editions of the International newsletter.

Although the newsletter
takes many, many hours of dedication and effort from the
newsletter team and its contributors, it has been an absolute
pleasure to serve IOGKF and Goju-ryu members around the world
and your kind comments make it all worthwhile.

THANK YOU:

Following this
newsletter our current newsletter webmaster, Sensei Helmut
Leitner (IOGKF Australia), will be retiring from the newsletter.
He has been an integral part of the re-building the newsletter
and without him there would truly be none of what we have now. I
want to sincerely thank him from the bottom of my heart. He has
always supported me and the newsletter re-buidling venture from
the start, all readers of the newsletter owe him a great debt of
gratitude.

I invite anyone who is
interested in becoming the new web designer of the newsletter to
look over the advertisement in this newsletter and email an
application to

DECEMBER 2012 NEWSLETTER:

It’s been a big year for
IOGKF International and year of change which will all wrap up
during our December Newsletter. The amount of Gasshuku’s being
organized decreases around Budosai time, but it will pick up
from now until the end of the year and I hope to see many event
reports from all over the world. The Cut off date for the
December newsletter will be December 1st, 2012.
